This patch update was quite a large one, and as a result of this, we'll be monitoring any game issues very closely over the next couple of weeks. If needed, we'll patch again quickly for anything broken in the architecture and then if no issues arise, we'll patch on console in the coming weeks (since this process takes longer than than on PC). This is a huge shift in architecture in many areas, meaning we're hoping to see increased performance, but this may also be responsible for some bugs we couldn't account for.

Added additional auto-saves to save player progression more frequently.

Changed audio in menu navigation

Fixed off centre button prompt texts

Centered item inspect text

Set subtitles to 'On' by default

Included spelling corrections in the English subtitles.

Fixed look sensitivity not saving and made slider more impactful, started mouse with higher sensitivity by default

Fixed a corrupted save issue that was occurring when the game autosaved by moving between levels

Save Game times in some situations weren't displayed 'Played Time' correctly, as this wasn't reproducible on our end, we believe a fix has been put in place to rectify this.

As always, we'll continue to support Ether One to make it the best title it can be so please do reach out either on the forums or through our contact page here if you have any issues, questions or comments: http://whitepapergames.com/2016/contact.php

Reviews

“The world of Ether One is a superbly detailed and well thought-out place.”
4/5 – Joystiq

“It’s been just two days since I last player Ether One and I’ve not stopped thinking about it since. I thought about it before I went to bed last night, and the night before. I thought about it when I woke up this morning. I thought about it when I had lunch. So far I’ve sunk 12 hours into a game easily completable in four. I’ve not nearly managed to restore all of the projectors. And I've hardly scratched the surface.”
9/10 – Strategy Informer

“Superb: A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage to what is a supreme title.”
9/10 – Destructoid

About This Game

Ether One is a first person adventure that deals with the fragility of the human mind.

There are two paths in the world you can choose from. At its core is a story exploration path free from puzzles where you can unfold the story at your own pace.

There is also a deeper, more adventurous path in which you can complete complex puzzles to restore life changing events of the patients history in order to help the validation of their life.

Parallel paths make Ether One accessible to a range of skilled players. Invite your friends and family around to pick their brains for help taking on challenging environmental puzzles, or soak in the atmosphere of Pinwheel at leisure. From a young age we enjoyed the first person puzzle games that required you to write cryptic notes on spare pieces of paper to unravel mysteries. Ether One aims to bring back pen and paper puzzle solving, whilst still being accessible and optional for people not wanting to get stuck and frustrated on the harder puzzles.
